From the supplier: A group support system (GSS) may be employed to help in group brainstorming. An experiment was conducted to manipulate task structure and time structure in electronic brainstorming. Groups electronically brainstormed either on intact tasks or on partitioned tasks. Results showed that the groups in the partitioned task treatment produced 40% more ideas but there were no time effects. These differences can be explained by the ability of the partitioned task to refocus members' attention more evenly across the entire solution space.
